The drum skins are made from strong goatskin and have not been bleached or weakened by any other aesthetic process as it is eco-friendly. Each drum has been individually handmade by African drummers who can create these beautiful instruments with the passion and specialist knowledge they have gained from years of experience, No two are the same that's what makes them so so special.
